OFA Fiscal Note
Potential Cost
The amendment restricts who is eligible for parole when committing
specified crimes under the age of twenty-one resulting in a potential
marginal cost to the Department of Correction to the extent that fewer
inmates are granted parole. On average, the annual marginal cost to the
state for incarcerating an offender is $2,500.

Inmate marginal cost is based on increased consumables (e.g. food, clothing, water,
sewage, living supplies, etc.). This does not include a change in staffing costs or utility
expenses because these would only be realized if a unit or facility opened.
